Combine Two Commands Output

33junaid · #1 (**permalink**) 08-13-2007

How i can combine output of two commands in one file.......i tried this but it is not working although each command is working good seperately.....

head -1 filename | tail -1 filename

i think there is problem with command concatenator?

Code:

(head -1 filename; tail -1 filename )> newfilename

Hope you are trying to print the first and last line to a new file

Yes that is done.Thanks....wat if I want to insert some word in between the 2 commands but on same line?

head -1 filename; "Some Text" ; tail -1 filename > newfilename

it is taking "Some text" as command instead of text.......how to combine text now?

Code:

(head -1 filename; echo "Some Text" ; tail -1 filename )> newfilename

the second command after the echo starts in new line not on the same line.........

Use the -n option in echo if you want to display it in a single line.
